Stories stories stories too many stories · 2:51pm Apr 6th, 2014
Hi everyone. Well, the school year is almost out, so I might get back to writing, or I might not. The thing is it's been so long since I've written I've sorta lost touch with the stories I have, and I have too many ideas to just settle with one and get cracking. That's where you come in, maybe. I'm going to show what plans I currently have, and see what ones you're interested in. I'm going to link to each story, even non-published ones, and below give a brief over view of what I plan to do with it in a quotes tag. Most of them have unpublished/unfinished chapters, but I won't be revealing them at the time, I might if you ask though. There will be some spoilers, so be warned, but I'm not going to reveal everything I have planned this time. I greyed the spoilers out, so highlight them to make them more clear. First, the unpublished stories:
Her Chosen Princess of the Sun
This is essentially my answer to Equestria Girls and Magic Mystery Cure. It's role is to act as a substitute for EG without any ponymons, fanwank, or overused tropes, well at least I hope it won't. I want it basically to be more faithful to the original mythology in the show, just with Sunset Shimmer and Twilicorn. It's also meant to wrap up some loose ends with MMC and make it less anti-climatic, though it doesn't really match up with the current direction of the show. It's significantly darker than EG, but not grimdark by any means, I'd think it could be adapted for an FiM episode/movie. It's nothing worse than stuff that has happened in the comic or previous gens. The version of Sunset Shimmer in this story is significantly different than the canon/EU character. Rather than being like Twilight, a socially awkward prodigy, only evil, she is socially cunning and manipulative. This is because:
1. Alpha-bitches are overused. She's still a jerk, only less obviously so. This isn't a highschool story, so she'll be more mature in her manipulation, and while she was popular when school aged, she is now an outcast.
2. We don't need another Trixie. One boastful-yet-talented unicorn is enough.
3. It serves as a plot point beyond just being her character with how Celestia selected her.
4. I feel it makes a more interesting character in the story I have planned.As for the actual story, it starts of with a prologue similar to the comic one, but considering the character of Sunset Shimmer is changed and there is no mirror to the land of pointless, it's substantially different. It also extends a bit earlier, and ties it in with Nightmare Moon's mythology. After the prologue, the story begins shortly after Magical Mystery Cure were Twilight has learned of her destiny and finds she doesn't want the responsibility. Sunset Shimmer then comes back in to take advantage of Twilight's insecurity so she can raise in power in her place, and well, then stuff happens. :P
It's just supposed to be a cute one-shot about how Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash met and became friends, showing Fluttershy's kindness, Rainbow Dash's loyalty, and the fact bullies suck.
Paraphrasing Cracked "half the My Little Ponies [have Asperger's syndrome], probably". This is parodying such fan speculation by making have the main cast literally have Aspergers. The premise of the story is that Celestia is running an experimental new treatment program and sets up the Nightmare Moon incident in order to get the cast (half of which is autistic) to bond. Oh, and Celestia and Nightmare Moon are comic book superheros that were written as state propaganda. :P The plan for the story is just to retell the first episode in this alternative universe, with a bit extra, but I might continue it further.
An Abridgment of the Chaordocron for the English Speaking Brony
Basically just a retelling of my interpretation of Equestria's history in ballad structure. Probably never going to be finished as a I cannot write enough stanzas in the correct meter. :P
Here is the chapter listing (and word count):
The Schism ( also known as The Creation) 24
:: The Rise of Chaos 0
:: The Age of Ponies 0
:: The Classical Era 0
:: The Return of Discord 0
:: The Coming of the Alicorns 0
:: The Nightfall 0
:: The Prophecies 024 words is one stanza, by the way, and I plan on having 25 in each chapter, so....yeah...
Now for the published but unfinished stories, listed in order of rating.
Rarity Fights a Giant Freaking Crab
Just a silly over-the-top story based on the meme. I do have plans for the rest of the story, basically Rarity teams up with Twilight as well as Rainbow to help her locate the crab, and stuff happens which makes the story much longer and more epic then it needs to be until the time for the final showdown.
Story about how Scootaloo learns to cope with lose of flight, and spin-off of another story of mine. I think I was planning two more chapters, but I forgot exactly what my plan was. Basically she meets up with Derpy via Fluttershy and tries to relearn how to fly from her, and has to heal her relationship with Fluttershy.
Okay, I think this is my most misunderstood story. It was actually written to be a prologue for a video game I was making called The Servant of Discord, it's the backstory for the main villain in the game. It's NOT a self-insert grimdark fic, though I see why one might believe it is as I often use this image as a profile pic even though Rainflower isn't my ponysona.
If that image were the cover art it probably would have been much better received. :P Anyway, the reason I never told anyone about the true nature of the story is because I was keeping the plot of the game confidential and Rainflower doesn't appear until a late-game plot twist, she's revealed at the end of the second of three acts. The reason I'm telling this now is because the game has essentially been canceled due to lack of time to develop it, and because we ran into technical difficulties which after months we couldn't overcome. If you want to know the full plot of the game, I can tell you now. Anyway, as you might have guessed, the third and final chapter will be titled Wings, and is the darkest yet. She is now on the run from the Canterlot Police and has accepted her role as the servant of the deity who calls himself Everfree. She eventually meets up with a pegasus named Aegis and together they have final showdown with the guard as they flee to the Everfree Forest. It should be noted that this branched before Keep Calm and Flutter On as it's portrayal of Discord is much different than the main series. Aside from the one shots, it would probably be the easiest story for me to actually finish.
Uh, just read the synopsis and the first comment. Anyway, there are plans for two more chapters and an epilogue. Basically it's just more of the same thing, sappiness, off-color humor, and rambling, only the conditions get worse as it goes along. It's a story made to make the reader uncomfortable. There is some crossover with Heavy Metal Fluttershy in the next chapter.
Distant sequel to Heavy Metal Fluttershy, but it's not canon to Heavy Metal Fluttershy, if that makes sense. I'll just copy/paste this:
"I just wrote it for a contest I entered long after the entry deadline and four days before the actual deadline, which I missed as well. The story was originally just going to be a crack shot, but then it ended up being too long, and I have other stories I care more about and other people care about that I need to finish.). I didn't have much of a plan for the story except what can be seen in the description, Sweetie Belle joins The Mouse and it becomes Muse and the Mouse, Sweetie Belle and Pipsqueak fall in love, the band falls appart because of internal disputes (probably involving Rarity) involving R, but Sweetie Belle and Pipsqueak stay together, and in the side plot Fluttershy returns home from her tour and Shreds proposes to her or something."
That's it, at least for ones I've bothered to make a story for. So, which ideas to you want to see expanded upon?
